Production notes

Scan of the "making of" article from the official Lost magazine

The production code/mobisode number for this mobisode is 107, even though it was the first mobisode released.

The running time is 02:39.

This mobisode was released on November 6, 2007, the second day that the WGA had been on strike fighting for residuals from "new media" such as online and mobile distribution. However, the WGA had already worked out these details for the mobisodes on behalf of Lost, negotiating a contract with ABC Studios that essentially accomplished what the WGA is striking for across the board.

Literary techniques

Christian says, "Unlike me, you made the absolute right choice." He was wrong; the marriage ended badly. (Irony)

Christian gives Jack the watch which he got from his father, putting them both in the same situation. But while Christian never wore that watch, Jack wears it immediately. This shows that from the same situation they are going in opposite directions. (Juxtaposition)
